~~! That is flashbacks ~~!
Silence is golden
but I think it's gonna kill me now
everything I've seen
never seems to fill me now
no one told me that the world could fall through
"Hermione, its time for dinner." Said a small voice.
"I'm not hungry." She said. She just wanted Trina to go away, and Draco to come back!
"Alright then. Do you want to go to the park later then?" Trina asked. She just wanted Hermione to feel better, it had already been a week since he disappeared, and she never did anything anymore. 'I wonder what she'll be like at school' Trina thought.
"No, not if Draco's not coming."
"Draco's not here."
"I know! That's the problem. Now please leave my room!" Oops. Hermione was going to get in trouble. 'She had to make Trina feel welcome' but they just didn't understand. Nobody understood, and where was Draco?
"I'm sorry." Trina whispered and left the room.
Hermione jumped off her bed and locked the door. "Hermione, come down here and eat!" She heard her mother yell. But Hermione didn't answer. She heard footsteps, coming up the stairs making a mad 'humph' noise. "Hermione unlock the door!" "No, go away, and leave me alone." "Unlock the door!" "NO!" "You're not going to stay in there forever, until Draco comes back!" "Yes I am! Go away." "Hermione, just open the door. You can't starve yourself!" "Yes I can! So go away!" Then she heard her mother's footsteps go 'humph' down the stairs. Nobody could understand why?
~***~
It had been two weeks. All Hermione did was cry and sleep. Her mother shoved little bits of food in her room, but Hermione just threw them out.
'Knock knock' Hermione didn't answer, it was probably Trina wanting her to take her to the park.
"Hermione, it's me, Ms. Malfoy. Can you please open the door?" Hermione slowly got up and unlocked the door. It was very hard to resist; it was Draco's mom!
"Why, hello. I hear you haven't emerged from your room in two weeks?"
"It doesn't matter."
"Please Hermione, I miss him too. But you must eat and go back to Hogwarts. They still need a Head Girl."
"I don't care if I become a witch anymore, all that matters is Draco coming back."
"I'm sure he misses you too. But he would want you to finish your schooling. Just think if he came back and you had starved yourself to death?"
Hermione tried to think of something, but instead looked kind of like a fish opening and closing her mouth.
"See. Now please eat something. And then I'll help you pack for School."
Hermione nodded, and she left her room for the first time in two weeks.
~***~
She and Ms. Malfoy were packing for the second term at Hogwarts.
"It'll be okay Hermione. I mean going back to Hogwarts and all."
Hermione remained silent. She knew that she was trying to help, but it wasn't cheering her up. And she wished that she had never gotten up and left her room.
"Don't worry they'll find Draco, he'll turn up."
"Look Ms. Malfoy, I know you're trying to make me feel better, but your not. The first week I wouldn't even believe that this had happened. The second week, I realized that I was just living a huge lie. So please, do me a favour, and stop pretending." Hermione knew it was a little harsh, but honestly, he wasn't going to come back, and nothing and no one would bring him back. Hermione, left the room, and started to put on her jacket.
"Hermione, where're you going?" Asked Trina.
"Nowhere, and no I'm not going to the park."
"Why would I think that?"
"Because you always ask me to take you! But nobody understands that Draco's gone! He's gone and he's never coming back."
"How do you know? You've been too busy killing yourself in your room, you haven't even looked." Hermione had to agree with her, that she hadn't even looked. "So can I come?" Hermione smiled. And they both left.
~***~
It was nine o'clock, and Hermione decided to go home. She decided that she would go back to Hogwarts, only if Trina could come with her.
"Hi mom." Hermione said cheerfully.
"Where have you been? You left, took Trina, and you made Ms. Malfoy run out of here in tears!"
"I'm sorry."
"Sorry? You've been locked in your room for three weeks, and for two you didn't even eat anything!"
"I said I was sorry!"
Mrs. Granger rolled her eyes. "Trina's going with you to Hogwarts."
"What!?" Hermione screamed.
"She's coming with you, out of safety. Dumbledore sent an owl here, while you were locked away in your room. He said that it would be safer if she came along."
"And what would harm her if she stayed here?"
"I'm only doing what Dumbledore asked."
"And does Trina know?"
"Yes. And Ms. Malfoy left this on the table when she came in." She pointed to the kitchen table. And sitting on it was the game 'Clue' Hermione slowly walked towards it, and picked it up. She then went to her room, to finish packing. But she was dreading Hogwarts even more. Trina a muggle coming with her. And everybody would know that Draco had disappeared. And how was Trina supposed to get into the platform? Only wizards and witches could do that. And that night the same question kept nagging her mind: why?
~***~
Hermione woke up early that morning, to finish packing and 'get ready' for this morning. She got dressed, and ate breakfast. And before she knew it she was at Kings' Cross Station, saying goodbye to her parents. Her and Trina waved a final goodbye to their parents, and stood between platforms 9 and 10. "Trina, I don't think this will work, but just lean against the platform. Trina obeyed, and then the saw The Hogwarts' Express. 'Dumbledore must've done something.' Hermione thought. Her and Trina boarded the train, and found an empty compartment. In a little while, she would be back in the castle, with everybody feeling sorry for her, and asking her what a seven year old muggle girl was doing in Hogwarts.
~***~
Hermione was now in her robes, with Trina beside her. They stepped inside the huge building. Trina stared in awe at everything.
"Ms. Granger, Professor Dumbledore would like to see you two in his office." A familiar voice said.
"Yes, we'll go there right now Professor McGonagall." So her and Trina started to walk through the halls of the school. Hermione tried to avoid the main hallways, so that nobody would see them.
"Hello, Ms. Grangers." Said Dumbledore.
"Hello sir."
"In your dormitory, we have set up an extra bed, and that is where Trina will sleep. I thought it best if she would stay here for the rest of term. It'll be a lot safer." Hermione nodded, but didn't know what would be so much safer; nobody would take a small muggle girl if it had concern with the wizarding world. "That is all you may go up to your dormitory, get settled, so you won't be late for dinner." Hermione and Trina nodded, and started to leave his office. "Oh and Hermione, please be careful." Hermione stared at him confused but managed to make a slight nod.
They headed up to the Gryffindor common room. When they entered all eyes were staring at them. Hermione and Trina walked up to the girls' dormitories. Trina, you stay here I'll be back.
Hermione walked back down into the common room, Harry and Ron were first to approach her. "Who is that? And isn't she a little young to be in Hogwarts?" Ron asked.
"She's my adopted sister, she's seven, and it was Dumbledore's idea to bring her here. He thinks she may be in danger." Hermione explained. Everyone heard, and went back to whatever they were doing.
"Danger?" Harry asked. "What's wrong?"
"I don't know what he means, I'm going to check on Trina."
"Alright." Ron said and started walking towards the chessboard.
"Hermione, what's wrong?" Harry asked again.
"Nothings wrong Harry. I'm perfectly fine, perfectly fine." Then Hermione became sort of in a spaced out daze.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah." She said and went back up to the dormitories.
~***~
While her, Trina, Harry, and Ron walked to the Great Hall; they got many glares, and stares.
"This is ridiculous. It's like they haven't seen a little girl before!" Hermione said.
Trina, never said anything, just kept holding onto Hermione's hand, staring at the walls, and the moving pictures.
Trina and Hermione quickly ate dinner. After, Hermione took Trina back to the dormitories. She was tired from the long travel. Hermione, who was wide- awake, went to the library. She walked down the familiar corridors, but one stood out the most.
~~! It's not your fault. I'm the one who said I didn't care, I don't but I never thought this would happen."
"Hermione, I think it's best if I go, you have your life back to the way it was, and maybe after Hogwarts we can be friends.
"No, Draco, please its not your fault! I don't care, I like my life better now" Hermione pleaded. She did like her life with Draco as her friend, but she also liked her life with Harry and Ron as her friends.
A tear rolled down his cheek. And he turned on his heel and left. "I'm sorry." He whispered.~~!
Hermione quickly pushed that thought away. She couldn't think about that. She had to focus on getting to the library, and do some studying. She hadn't studied during the Christmas Holidays, because at first she only spent the time with Draco and Trina. And then the week she was in her room, and then the two weeks she locked herself in her room, she didn't really have time to think about Hogwarts. She wasn't even going to come back. How she would get through this term, she didn't know. Everywhere she went she was reminded of Draco.
~***~
"Hermione." Trina whispered.
"Yes?" Hermione asked.
"Where're we going?"
"To see Professor Dumbledore."
"This early in the morning?"
"Yes, he probably wants to tell you what you will be doing all day while I'm in my classes."
"Okay."
~***~
"Hello again, Ms. Grangers."
"Hello sir." They both said.
"Trina, while Hermione's in her classes, you will spend the time with me in my office, and today, I will take you on a little tour of Hogwarts." Said Dumbledore cheerfully.
Trina smiled. "Thank you sir."
"So, you two can go have some breakfast now, and I'll see you in a little while."
Hermione and Trina left his office, Trina was very happy.
"He's a really nice man." She said. Hermione nodded in agreement, and they went to the Great Hall.
~***~
Hermione was now in transfiguration. She noticed that Professor McGonagall was speaking, but Hermione could not hear her. She was in her own little world now, again her thoughts were on Draco. 'Can't he come back? Where is he? Is he okay? If only he knew how worried I am.'
"Ms. Granger."
Hermione came back into reality. "Yes Professor?"
"Class is over."
"Oh, sorry, I didn't notice." Hermione gave a weak smile, and picked up her books.
"Are you okay Ms. Granger?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. I just was thinking about what you were saying."
Professor McGonagall didn't say anything just kind of nodded. And Hermione left. She decided to skip potions, she wasn't feeling to well. Her stomach was churning and she needed to get outside of the castle, she just had to. She ran up to the Heads' study, nobody would be there.
~***~
It was exactly the same, as the last time she'd been there, with Draco. She sat down at a desk, took out some parchment and a quill, and began to write.
Everywhere I go I see you, you seem real, but you're just a memory. I don't know how much longer I can stay here. I can't pay attention in class, because I'm thinking about where you are, and if you're okay, and even if I don't want to believe it, I know that you won't come back. Somehow I keep trying to convince myself, but it's already been three weeks, soon to be a month. You're not coming back are you? But why?
The parchment was smudged with tearstains. But she still ran to the owlry, found a school animal and tied it to its leg. "Send this to no one at all. Just drop it somewhere." And the owl flew off. She knew that she hadn't accomplished anything, but somehow it made her feel a little bit better. She spent the rest of the day in the Heads' study, until dinner. Trina would probably be worried. So she headed down to the Great Hall.
"Ms. Granger."
Hermione turned around it was Dumbledore. "Um, yes professor."
"Trina's in the dormitories already, she was quite worried about you."
"Oh, um, I just didn't feel well that's all." Hermione said, hoping to convince him.
"Alright, but please try to keep to your studies."
Hermione nodded, and went back to the dormitories.
"Hermione!" Trina said.
"Hi, sorry I wasn't feeling well."
"You were thinking about Draco again?"
She nodded, and sat down on the edge of Trina's bed.
"Don't worry it'll be okay."
"Goodnight Trina."
"Goodnight Hermione."
Hermione went back to her bed, and decided to go to sleep. And she climbed in her bed, happy. Because in her sleep she could dream about Draco.
